True Blood chronicles the backwoods Louisiana town of Bon Temps...where vampires have emerged from the coffin, and no longer need humans for their fix.
Sookie Stackhouse works as a waitress at the rural bar Merlotte's. Though outwardly a typical young woman, she keeps a dangerous secret: She has the ability to hear the thoughts of others. Her situation is further complicated when the bar gets its first vampire patron — 173-year old Bill Compton — and the two outsiders are immediately drawn to each other.
